Screenshots now in .png?

[RonaldMacDonald]

I ften take screenshots. com > shift > 3. They used to be picts then became pdf's and now png in Leopard. Is the average computer user able to open these without problems? Is it the sort of thing an XP user could just double click on and open without problems.

If not, is there a way to convert them to pdf?

Yes - an average user should be smart enough to open a png with an XPee machine.
Many browsers do png nowadays too.

If you want to change the picture back to PDF or another format, the easiest way to do that is with OnyX. You can also decide how to name the the screenshots, and where to store them. So e.g. as I need to make plenty of them, I find it easier to have them all be created in ~/Pictures/Screenshots.
